Former Asante Kotoko defender Awal Mohammed has voiced his frustration over the current state of Ghana’s two most successful clubs, Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak.
The ex-defender lamented the decline in the management of the two giants, claiming that their reputations now exist only in name rather than substance.
Although he admitted that Kotoko and Hearts are the biggest in Ghana, he retraited that the status does not reflect in their actions but just by word of mouth.
“This wouldn’t have been the situation if Kotoko and Hearts managed themselves well. They are the biggest teams in Ghana, whether we like it or not. But currently, that ‘biggest’ is just by mouth.” he told Ghanasportspage.com
Awal’s comments are in reaction to the imminent return of Ghana Premier League after a brief halt, despite the FA not adhering to demands made by Kotoko and Hearts after the death of Kotoko fan Nana Pooley.
Once celebrated as the powerhouses of Ghanaian football, the two clubs have struggled to consistently perform at the highest level, both domestically and on the continental stage.
